Ocean Leisure, London's premier marine and watersports superstore, have added to the existing Zhik shop-in-shop in their Embankment based store.
The expansion marks the evolution of a partnership between Zhik and Ocean Leisure who share similar philosophies - high performance, innovative, clean design, offering the best fabrics and technologies.
The new 25m2 area of the store is dedicated to displaying a wide selection of Zhik's yachting range while a separate area caters for the existing range of dinghy gear creating a one stop central London location for Zhik.
In stock right now is a comprehensive range of yachting gear from the inshore Kiama Jacket through to the ultra waterproof and durable Isotak 2 offshore range. In the battle for warm and dry feet Ocean Leisure are now stocking Zhik's ultimate weapon the ZK Seaboot which is built to stand up to the harshest wet environments. In store the innovative and popular ZKG's® 'made for water' shoes are available in a range of colours and some great base layers can also be found including the versatile ¼ zip Hydrophobic™ Fleece.
Zhik's core yachting lines fortify an extensive range of Zhik dinghy gear with Ocean Leisure stocking the entire Superwarm® and Microfleece™ wetsuits range. In store you can also find a selection of Zhik technical tops, from UV resistant spandex through to ultra high tech Zskin featuring the worlds thinnest neoprene. Later this month Ocean Leisure will also play host to the launch of Zhik's revolutionary new Avlare® dinghy range, made from a fabric that features extreme hydrophobic properties that last this new material won't absorb water over time thus retaining excellent wind chill protection and minimizing weight. Paddle and SUP ranges are also stocked.
To keep everything organized the store also stocks Zhik's full range of practical and stylish luggage.
Managing Director of Ocean Leisure, Peter Haslam said, "We are excited about promoting the Zhik range, and having a dedicated 'Zhik shop-in-shop' within our store too. As well as being a premier dinghy brand, Zhik have a fantastic range of technical yachting gear. There is excellent synergy with Zhik and what we aim to offer Ocean Leisure's clients."
"We are thrilled to be working with Ocean Leisure, one of the most well respected marine and watersports stores in the UK. The recently expanded shop provides a strong base for us in London, and joins our growing network of dedicated stores," commented Simon Payne, Zhik's Global Sales Director. "Zhik's products are 'made for water' and whilst we are best known in performance and Olympic sailing, we are also working closely with top performers in surf, SUP and kayak to develop innovative clothing for them reach the top of their sports too."
